HDHomeRun View search on Windows and Fire TV apps

Post by leop »

For the last couple of days, the search function, typing in a channel number, to get a specific channel does not work for the HDHomeRun view app in Windows and Fire TV. It just gives an incomplete list of channels (with gaps). Clearing the app data and cache does not solve the problem. Neither does rebooting the HDHomeRun Prime (HDHR3-CC) by removing and replacing the power cable. Is there a solution that I have not found?

I have not been able to reproduce a problem... are you in Guide or Live?

The search fails in both live and quide when I input a channel number. For live, I can input a channel name or show/movie name and the search works. In guide, typing a channel name or show/movie name does not work. When the search does not work, the same ordered list of the same random channels is listed.

Can you please describe what you see. Entering a channel number is working for me.

I think I found the issue and fiixed it. On the failed searches and on the app startup (Windows, Fire TV, and Android), the "favorite" channels would be listed on the right side guide (with all channels listed below in order). I just went to the channel lineup page (http://hdhomerun.local/lineup.html) and removed the favorite status for those channels mark as favorites. After I removed the favorite marks from the channel lineup list, the search and app startup were back to as before. The favorite channels have been marked all along (I do not know why) so the odd behavior started for some readson recently.

Thanks for your help,

LeoP
